I think you let the air out, back off the nuts til flush with ends of studs, re-air til bead pops, this lossens the tire from the inner parts, now let air out again, remove nuts, pry wheel out of tire. But last time I did one was 1977, it was so hard we used a hammer to BREAK the tire into pieces.
Or maybe once you unbolt the rim, a normal tire machine would push tire, ring, and beadlock off of the wheel? Then work inside?
I remember the three hardest days of work in my life: 1) hotmopping a roof, 2)stacking 11 tons of hay bales, by hand, 3)changing 5 split rims in the front yard, under the tree. Guys who do that stuff WORK for a living, we do it for FUN!!!
